going back to work

Hi ladies. So my baby girl is 3 weeks and 2 days old and I don't have the luxury to be a stay at home mom yet. Hubby is a fire fighter but still not at top pay plus we have a 7 year old as well; so I need to go to work but dreading it because I can't imagine leaving my princess at the care of someone else that isn't me but i know we need the extra income plus I do enjoy making my own money but it's just so hard to leave her. How are you ladies coping with this??

One day at a time. That's how I'm dealing with it. Lo will be 8 weeks this Friday and my favorite part of the day is coming home to her. I've only been going to school two days a week as a knee injury is keeping me from waitressing. The little break away being something other than a boob is ok but I'd rather be being the boob.

It's hard but like pp stated take it one day at a time. I LOVE my children but honestly don't think I could be a SAHM. Working part time works out great so I can have the best of both worlds. My lo will be in daycare 2-3 times a week and it is very scary but just remember they have watched other babies (if your provider is experienced) you have the right to drop in anytime and they technically can't "break" your lo. And if you have family watching lo that's even better. Going home from work will really be the BEST part of your day and you won't take any moments for granted.

You ladies are awesome. I can't get my head around leaving this little guy. I'm staying home for a year approx while I finish my degree. We won't be able to afford it once my loans are all due. Just wanted to say how impressed I am by you all.
